    Winston began his diary on April 4th, 1984. This diary, any diary, is forbidden by law. He was inspired to start this diary when he saw the book of “smooth creamy paper” in a junk-shop that party members were forbidden to go into. He rearranged the TV to a different part of the room so that he would have a small space that was not visible by “Big Brother”, and that is where he began his diary. He drew a blank in the very beginning and then suddenly began writing what he called a “stream of rubbish”. It concerned films of war.…

    The M.A. program in English invites applicants from any accredited college or university who wish to pursue graduate studies in English, American, and Anglophone literatures. The M.A. in English is designed to provide a broad background in English literatures and to introduce students to methods of critical analysis and scholarly technique. The Department welcomes students interested in preparing themselves for doctoral programs, teachers intent on deepening their understanding of literature, and persons eager to enrich their lives through reading and writing. The program cultivates broad reading, rigorous analysis of texts, and extended writing informed by research. It includes course work spanning a range of historical periods from the medieval to the present. Applicants to the programs usually have taken at least six upper-division, undergraduate courses in English, American, and world literature. The department offers two plans of study leading to the degree: 1.) Plan A, which requires at least eight courses (consisting of a minimum of 24 hours of course work) together with a thesis. 2.) Plan B, which requires at least ten courses (consisting of a minimum of 30 hours of course work) with an essay. At the time of acceptance, each student is assigned to a department advisor. The student’s program must be planned with the advisor’s approval. Both plans A and B can be broken down into three basic requirements beyond those of the bachelor’s degree: 1) a particular distribution of courses 2) a comprehensive examination 3) an essay or creative project for Plan B or a thesis for Plan A…
